There are countless professions you would be unable to resume after being convicted of specific felonies. Professional sports leagues don’t have such restrictions because they don’t want to have them.

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:37:41 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=315941#comment-459423@ pillowporkers – So your argument is that the victim shouldn’t have been drinking and therefore she would have had nothing to worry about? Because children don’t get raped every day by family members, teachers, coaches, etc.? Because college students walking to class completely sober don’t get raped every day? Because women on the subway on their way to work in the morning don’t get groped every day? Saying “don’t get blackout drunk, problem solved” is just another example of blaming the victim. We don’t blame murder victims for being murdered, why do we blame rape victims for being raped?

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:07:06 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=315941#comment-459398I agree being blackout drunk is as good as being unconscious in terms of consent, but I have to bring up the point of “don’t get blackout drunk” since everyone else seems to be forgetting it on this thread . It’ll solve a lot of problems that can be incurred in that mindset. Jail, hospital, rape victim, rapee, being fired from a job, being robbed, I can go on…

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:49:16 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=315941#comment-458935On 11 March 1977, Polanski, then 43 years old, was arrested in Los Angeles for the sexual assault of 13-year-old Samantha Geimer during a photo shoot for French Vogue magazine.. Polanski was indicted on six counts of criminal behavior, including rape. At his arraignment he pled not guilty to all charges. Geimer’s attorney next arranged a plea bargain in which five of the six charges would be dismissed and Polanski accepted. Because Polanski fled the country before final sentencing, the charges were not dismissed and still remain pending.
As a result of the plea bargain, Polanski pled guilty to the charge of “Unlawful Sexual Intercourse with a minor,” and was ordered to undergo 90 days of psychiatric evaluation at Chino State Prison.On release from prison after 42 days ….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Polanski#Sexual_abuse_case

“He did something really gross to me, but it was the media that ruined my life,” she told People in 1997.

It is bound to bring more focus to Lueke’s crime and all the sleazy details surrounding it. Which have more to do with the dark side of sports culture (both athletes and fans). Since Lueke’s “second chance” will likely put him in similar situations, it is more accurate to say that baseball will provide him with more temptation than redemption.
